AI Adoption Surges to 88% of Organizations, But Only One-Third Scale Enterprise-Wide

AI adoption skyrockets to 88% of organizations as companies rush to experiment with artificial intelligence, but only one-third successfully scale implementations enterprise-wide, with most struggling to move beyond pilot phases despite heavy investment in the transformative technology.

• 88 percent of organizations now regularly use AI in at least one business function, up from 78 percent last year, though most remain in experimentation or piloting phases with only one-third scaling AI enterprise-wide
• 62 percent of organizations are experimenting with AI agents, with 23 percent scaling agentic AI systems, primarily in IT and knowledge management functions within technology, media, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors
• Only 39 percent of respondents report any enterprise-level EBIT impact from AI, while high-performing organizations achieve greater value by setting transformational goals, redesigning workflows, and investing over 20 percent of digital budgets in AI capabilities
